The foldable second row seat bottom in the affected vehicles may not fold down low enough to allow proper use of the child seat anchors

Without the use of the lower anchor points, a child restraint may be insufficiently or improperly anchored to the seat, increasing the risk of injury to the child in the event of a crash.

Mercedes will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the seat pan of the second row seat, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2014.

Owners may contact Mercedes at 1-800-367-6372.
